Wear leather safety gloves and safety shoes when handling cylinders. Protect cylinders from
physical damage; do not drag, roll, slide or drop. While moving cylinder, always keep in place
removable valve cover. Never attempt to lift a cylinder by its cap; the cap is intended solely to
protect the valve. When moving cylinders, even for short distances, use a cart (trolley, hand
truck, etc.) designed to transport cylinders. Never insert an object (e.g., wrench, screwdriver,
pry bar) into cap openings; doing so may damage the valve and cause a leak. Use an
adjustable strap wrench to remove over-tight or rusted caps. Slowly open the valve. If the
valve is hard to open, discontinue use and contact your supplier. Close the container valve
after each use; keep closed even when empty. Never apply flame or localized heat directly to
any part of the container. High temperatures may damage the container and could cause the
pressure relief device to fail prematurely, venting the container contents. For other precautions
in using this product, see section 16.
7.2. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Storage conditions : Avoid oil, grease and all other combustible materials.
Store only where temperature will not exceed 125°F (52°C). Post “No Smoking or Open
Flames” signs in storage and use areas. There must be no sources of ignition. Separate
packages and protect against potential fire and/or explosion damage following appropriate
codes and requirements (e.g., NFPA 30, NFPA 55, NFPA 70, and/or NFPA 221 in the U.S.) or
according to requirements determined by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Always
secure containers upright to keep them from falling or being knocked over. Install valve
protection cap, if provided, firmly in place by hand when the container is not in use. Store full
and empty containers separately. Use a first-in, first-out inventory system to prevent storing full
containers for long periods. For other precautions in using this product, see section 16.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING, STORAGE, AND USE: When handling product
under pressure, use piping and equipment adequately designed to withstand the pressures to
be encountered. Never work on a pressurized system. Use a back flow preventive device in
the piping. Gases can cause rapid suffocation because of oxygen deficiency; store and use
with adequate ventilation. If a leak occurs, close the container valve and blow down the system
in a safe and environmentally correct manner in compliance with all international,
federal/national, state/provincial, and local laws; then repair the leak. Never place a container
where it may become part of an electrical circuit.
7.3. Specific end use(s)
None.

Skin and body protection : Wear metatarsal shoes and work gloves for cylinder handling, and protective clothing where
needed. Wear appropriate chemical gloves during cylinder changeout or wherever contact with
product is possible. Select per OSHA 29 CFR 1910.132, 1910.136, and 1910.138.
Respiratory protection : When workplace conditions warrant respirator use, follow a respiratory protection program that
meets OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134, ANSI Z88.2, or MSHA 30 CFR 72.710 (where applicable).
Use an air-supplied or air-purifying cartridge if the action level is exceeded. Ensure that the
respirator has the appropriate protection factor for the exposure level. If cartridge type
respirators are used, the cartridge must be appropriate for the chemical exposure (e.g., an
organic vapor cartridge). For emergencies or instances with unknown exposure levels, use a
self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
Thermal hazard protection : Wear cold insulating gloves when transfilling or breaking transfer connections.
